Kaleidoscope Kit

This kit does not include the pattern. You'll also need a copy of Claudia Q's new book, Making Memories: Timeless Knits For Children.

 

PRE-ORDER

It is not hard to guess where the name of this sweater comes from — my most prized childhood possession, a kaleidoscope. I wanted to turn all those reflective colours and shapes into a lovely pullover, making the everyday more exciting.
